This terrifying rollercoaster has just been launched and it has two big claims to fame.

Taron is said to be the world's fastest multi-launch ride - meaning the ride stops while you're on board, then shoots off again.

And the fastest catapult rollercoaster - which throws you forward at top speed from a standing start.

Unveiled at Phantasialand, one of the biggest theme parks in Germany on Thursday.

And as the footage shows the ride is definitely one for the thrill-seekers.

As the ride completes its full loop and visitors are preparing for the ride to stop, the train suddenly accelerates to its top speed and hits full-throttle through the make-believe village again, in a series of spectacular curves and exhilarating helixes.
